The project marked one year and the progress is presented at the General Assembly meeting TU Wien. Two milestones successfully achieved and discussed upcoming large scale measurements on reversible pump-turbine rig and thruster design.

The test rig is being prepared for the phase 2 measurements of the reversible pump-turbine according to IEC standard. This measurements will also focus on cavitation characteristics. This data will provide valuable input for deciding the operational range of the thruster. The project teams aims to integrate additional pressure sensors in the draft tube for detailed data on pressure loading and cavitation. The turbine will also operated at extreme load conditions. The phase 2 measurements will focus on steady state operation of the turbine whereas transient and other measurements (phase 3) will be carried out soon after completing this measurements.
